list of rooms in your house to evaluate for home improvements

If January is all about personal improvements, I would guess March and April are motivation for home improvements.  There is something cleansing about the temperatures rising and the world turning green.  It is time to open the windows and let the ghost of Christmas clutter out.  It is time to step back and take a look at maintaining and improving one of your largest investments:  your home.  Here is a list of rooms that would benefit from a closer look.

  • Kitchen – drawers (especially junk), cabinets, appliances, backsplash area
  • Pantry – shelving, expired cans/boxes, floor space
  • Dining Room – linen storage, dining room table update (recover chairs, buffing and restaining)
  • Living Room – book storage, clutter control, arrangement of furniture
  • Den – TV setup (cables),
  • Office – organized storage of documents, clutter-free desk, updated and refreshed tools and implements
  • Bedrooms – under the bed storage, clothing storage, arrangement of furniture
  • Bathrooms – toiletry organization, linen storage, medicine storage
  • Closets – seasonal clothing rotation, clothing purge, storage needs (such as a shoe organizer or bag organizer)
  • Basement/Storage Areas – shelving, storage containers, rearrangement, moisture evaluation
  • Garage/Shed – shelving, tool storage,

What are your biggest challenges for home improvements this spring?  What motivates you to attack your projects?

    This is a great reminder for people contemplating home repairs this season. It’s always simple to think of a project as just needing a few things changed; however, projects are always more complicated than you think they are going to be. This is a great way to think of all aspects of areas you might need to change when approaching a home improvement project.

    I am preparing to move house at the end of the month. This list has reminded me of all the areas I still have to de-clutter and sort out, and some I hadn’t considered yet. You are becoming a kind of “Jimmeny Cricket”, thank you. By the way, I liked the video-post, it helped me visualise the end result. Definitely more please.
